Domestic Violence

Tritt & Tritt understands that being in a domestic violence situation can be frightening and isolating. We want to help you be safe from violence and to be secure. Do you qualify
for a domestic violence restraining order?

"A domestic violence restraining order is a court order that helps protect people from abuse or threats of abuse from someone they have a close relationship with.

You can ask for a domestic violence restraining order if:

1. A person has abused (or threatened to abuse) you

AND

2. You have a close relationship with that person. You are:

Married or registered domestic partners,
Divorced or separated,
Dating or used to date,
Living together or used to live together(more than roommates),
Parents together of a child, OR
Closely related (parent, child, brother, sister, grandmother, grandfather, in-law).

If you are a parent and your child is being abused, you can also file a restraining order on behalf of your child to protect your child (and you and other family members). If your child is 12 or
older, he or she can file the restraining order on his or her own.

If you do not qualify for a domestic violence restraining order, there are other kinds of orders you can ask for:

Civil harassment restraining order (can be used for neighbors, roommates, coworkers, or more distant family members like cousins, uncle or aunt, etc.). Find more information on getting a
civil harassment restraining order.

Elder or dependent adult abuse restraining order (if the person being abused is 65 or older; or between 18 and 64 and a dependent adult). Find more information on getting an elder or
dependent adult abuse restraining order.

Workplace violence restraining order (filed by an employer to protect an employee from violence, stalking, or harassment by another person). Find more information on getting a workplace violence
restraining order."
